What is the difference between 1 Toxic Spikes and 2 Toxic Spikes?

Question

I just realize, what is the difference between setting up 1 toxic spikes and 2 toxic spikes?

Is toxic spikes giving damage instead toxic status?

Answer 1

The second layer badly poisons, like Toxic. The first layer is only normal poison, which sucks.

not the worst thing in the world if you're running a poison team that has venoshock.

Normal poison doesn't suck, it's still 1/16 HP loss every turn. Coupled with weather damage, stealth rock etc it can be devastating.

Yeah but on average burn outclasses normal poison because of the attack drop.
